Rebirth: Bringing a Husband to a Well-off Society

Chapter 293
After hearing Shen Lu's words, Ji Tongpan became more and more embarrassed, and said embarrassingly: "My lord and Madam said that the lower officials are dull, and I hope that Madam will not be as knowledgeable as the lower officials."

Gu Xicheng is still very satisfied with Ji Tongpan's sense of taste. Although he is a bit stupid, he is still transparent. If it is replaced by someone who is neither smart nor sense of taste, then Gu Xicheng will be stunned to death.

Gu Xicheng snorted and said: "In the future, put away all your pedantic ideas, the most urgent thing is to solve the problem of eating for the people first, and the corpses in the mass graves."

After hearing Gu Xicheng's words, Ji Tongpan knew that he had let him go, and felt a sweat for himself. This ancestor really beat him.

Ji Tongpan couldn't hold back the smile anymore, and replied again and again: "Yes, yes, yes, I know, I should do my best."

Seeing Ji Tongpan like this, Shen Lu felt that it was not easy for him, so she smiled and said: "Okay, husband, Ji Tongpan also abides by etiquette, there is no other meaning, don't be angry, let's go and have a look first Field."

After hearing her words, Gu Xicheng's expression softened a little, and he nodded and said, "Well, well, let's go, Ji Tong, let's go and have a look at the farmland, and I'll trouble you to lead the way."

Ji Tongpan quickly replied: "Don't dare, this is what a lower official should do, my lord, madam, please."

After speaking, he quickly let Gu Xicheng and Shen Lu walk in front. After all, Shen Lu was a woman, so he walked beside Gu Xicheng to guide them.

A few people left the city in a carriage, and arrived at the farmland in the countryside, which was already sparsely populated.

Ji Tongpan led them all the way to a few pieces of land, which were indeed extremely barren, and really couldn't grow any good crops, but it would be suitable to grow sweet potatoes and potatoes.

A few people were walking not far away and there was a village. An old woman was sitting at the entrance of the village. Shen Lu pulled Gu Xicheng and said, "Husband, let's go and have a look, so we can inquire about it."

Gu Xicheng nodded, and went to the entrance of the village with Shen Lu.

Shen Lu walked up to the old woman, smiled and said, "Grandma, can I ask you something?"

The old lady glanced at Shen Lu, smiled and said, "Girl, you are not from the local area, you can ask the old lady if you have anything."

Shen Lu nodded with a smile and said: "Yes, mother-in-law can tell, my husband and I are here to visit relatives, but when we came to Huai'an Mansion, there were beggars all the way, why did this village become like this ?”

The old woman sighed and said: "Nowadays, the officials are unkind, and the people are starving to death. I don't care about it. My son and daughter-in-law have also gone out to beg. The old woman can't leave, so she can only wait at the entrance of the village every day."

Shen Lu also sighed and said: "I heard that although the Huai'an Mansion is not rich, the people are self-sufficient and happy. How come it is like this now?"

The old woman's tone made Shen Lu sigh. She said: "Whether it is good or not, one depends on whether there are natural or man-made disasters, and the other depends on how the government is doing. The old woman has lived for so many years, and this year is the most powerful one." , the number of dead people is also the most, and people can be seen carrying them out every day, so don’t look for this girl, you should go back wherever you came from, it’s better to stay away from the place of right and wrong.”

Shen Lu lowered her eyes and said in a low voice: "Grandma, you will be fine, trust me, everyone won't be hungry for too long."

The old woman sighed and said nothing more, Gu Xicheng also dragged Shen Lu away, this method must be figured out as soon as possible.
